Remember this shirt? Well, it’s getting loose on me. When I first bought it, the blouse was nicely fitted (see pic!), but it is starting to hang on me just a bit. It’s a nice problem to have. . . . I just wish I had the funds to immediately replace it and the rest [...]

Last night we created a fantastic home-made dinner sourced from two fairly simple recipes: lemon-marinated chicken and kale with pecans. The two dishes’ flavors paired together unexpectedly well, and both were recipes that even a novice in the kitchen like myself could put together. Win!

Yesterday morning I headed out to my second open-to-the-community boot camp workout down under the bridge at Town Lake! Remember the first time I went to one of these, just a month ago? Attending that session convinced me to give the whole boot camp thing a go—and doing that has helped me to shed about [...]
